Vol. II
Ritual and Repetition

Ritual and RepetitionSumma is a modern-day revival of a medieval literary genre that aimed to cover the whole terrain of a subject—at once a totality and a handbook of essentials.
Volume II turns to ritual: from sacred rites and ceremonial traditions to the quiet repetition of daily habits. This edition reflects on the gestures—spoken, worn, remembered—that protect us, bind us, and bring us into presence.

The print edition includes an exclusive photographic series by Yelena Yemchuk, alongside writing from Megan Nolan, John-Baptiste Oduor, Kate Zambreno, Missouri Williams, and archival selections from Clarice Lispector and Forough Farrokhzad.
